Lightning Twilight Photoshoot & Nightshoot
held at Bruntingthorpe Airfield on
On the 9th of November 2013 I visited Bruntingthorpe Airfield in Leicestershire.
Bruntingthorpe seems to be a regular haunt of mine these days & that's no bad thing! :-)
The Lightning Preservation Group had organised a Twilight Photoshoot involving
English Electric Lightning F.6, XS904/BQ. After the Twilight Photoshoot there was also a Nightshoot
which included the LPG's other Lightning, XR728/JS. Both aircraft being positioned in front of the
totally authentic QRA shed and under floodlight.
This ticket only event was held in front of several hundred spectators with some bright but
cold weather during the day together with freezing conditions in the evening for the Nightshoot, brrrrrrr!!
During the day at Bruntingthorpe and prior to the main event,
the English Electric Canberra B(I)8/B.6 MOD WT333 did some engine tests and taxying on the runway,
with a new pilot for the aircraft, Bob Tuxford at the controls.
I also got to photograph some of the other residents on the airfield, namely a couple of
Jet Provosts that were also doing engine runs & fast taxying.
The day was thoroughly enjoyable and seeing XS904 in full reheat
was awesome, as was seeing both aircraft side by side outside their hangar under floodlight.
This section contains around 133 unique images taken during the day:
